About

Multilevel models are a class of regression models for data that have a hierarchical or nested structure. Repeated measurements in longitudinal studies or patients nested within hospitals are examples of data with a hierarchical structure. Maastricht University - Center for European Studies offers the Multilevel Analysis of Longitudinal Data (MALD) programme.

Overview

Careers

Standard regression models such as ordinary least squares that ignore such hierarchical structures can produce invalid results leading to incorrect conclusions. Mixed-effects regression models instead take into account this hierarchical structure when analyzing the data. Maastricht University - Center for European Studies' Multilevel Analysis of Longitudinal Data (MALD) will teach you more about that.

Programme Structure

Courses include:

  • Standard linear regression model and its shortcoming
  • Examples of multilevel designs
  • Mixed-effects regression models including random intercept model, random intercept and slope model, models with serial correlations, and marginal models
  • Basic principles of model selection in multilevel models
  • Analysis of pre-post measurement designs
  • Analysis of longitudinal experimental studies
  • Missing observations in longitudinal studies

Without this basic knowledge, the course will be hard to follow. In any case, the participant should be familiar with dummy variables, interpretation of the regression parameters as well as experience working with SPSS (or R if it is preferred).
  • All PhD students and researchers involved in studies that consider longitudinal and multilevel data in medical, epidemiological, and social and behavioral research.
